Russian Military Uniforms

On this page I intend to put a selection of Russian Military Uniforms, mostly of
Russian Army before 1917. I will begin with the images of the Cossacks who had very
special status in the Russian Army, but later on I will also add on some uniforms of the
regular units.

Hussars of Russian-German legion, 1812-1815.
(The
legion was formed for Germans who wanted to fight Napoleon as part of Russian Army,
because in 1812 Napoleon was in control of almost all Europe, including German states. One
of those Germans was famous military theorist Karl von Clausewitz.)
